Everybody who uses psql
also uses the less
pager. Which, while it works well, has no special
support for tabular data. I found a few projects, but none was good enough for this purpose.
Thus I decided to write a small specialized pager to use as a psql
pager.
This pager can be used from the following command line clients, too:
mysql
sqlite
pgcli
monetdb
Trino (formerly Presto SQL)
usql
sqlcl
(for oracle)nushell
mcview
or FoxPro
- http://okbob.blogspot.com/2019/12/pspg-themes-what-you-use-it.htmlThe pspg
can be simply installed from Debian (Ubuntu) repositories. RedHat (Fedora) repositories
contains pspg
too:
# Debian (Ubuntu)
sudo apt-get install pspg
# RedHat (Fedora)
sudo dnf install pspg
Basic configuration is very simple - just set system environment variable PSQL_PAGER
:
export PSQL_PAGER='pspg -X -b'
Native installation on MS Windows is not supported, but pspg
works well inside wsl2
.
Inside wsl2 environment, the installation is same like on used Linux system.
Installation on macOS/homebrew is simple by brew install pspg
.
[pavel@localhost ~]$ pspg --help

pspg shares a lot of key commands with the less pager or the vi editor.
Options can also be passed within the PSPG
environment variable. Configuration
file is processed first. Options from the PSPG
variable are processed afterwards
step and command line options are processed at the end. One option can
be processed multiple times, the last value wins.

The theme can be customized over base and menu templates referencing the
built-in themes. The custom theme file should be saved in directory with pspg
configuration. The name of this file should be .pspg_theme_xxx. The custom
theme can be selected by command line option --custom-style=name
or by
command ctheme name
.
Example of a custom theme file (named .pspg_theme_mc2
(it can be activated by
command ctheme mc2
)):
template = 1
template_menu = 3
background = black, white
data = black, white
label = black, white, italic, bold
border = #000000, white
footer = lightgray, white
cursor_data = blue, white, italic, bold, dim, reverse
cursor_border = blue, blue , italic, bold, dim, reverse
cursor_label = blue, white, italic, bold, dim, reverse
cursor_footer = blue, white, italic, bold, dim, reverse
cursor_bookmark = red, white, italic, bold, dim, reverse
cross_cursor = white, blue, italic, bold
cross_cursor_border = brightblue, blue
status_bar = black, lightgray
title = black, lightgray
scrollbar_arrows = black, white
scrollbar_background = lightgray, white
scrollbar_slider = white, gray
Some keys can be marked by symbol *
. Marked keys are used for odd records.
data* = black, lightgray
label* = black, lightgray, italic, bold
border* = #000000, lightgray
template
and template_menu
set fallback values for any keys not specified
in the custom theme. template_menu
in particular is currently the only way to
customize the F9 menu appearance.

The output can be redirected to any command when the name starts with pipe symbol:

The pager can be ended by pressing keys q or F10 or Esc 0.
With option --on-sigint-exit
then the pager is closed by pressing keys Ctrl+c
or Esc Esc.
pspg supports a possibility to use a sequence of keys Esc, key instead an
combination of Alt+key. The interval between pressing Esc and
key is limited by interval specified by option esc-delay
or by configuration's
option esc_delay
. This is max delay time in ms. After this interval, the single pressing Esc
is interpreted as Escape
. -1 meas unlimited, 0 disables this feature.
Column search is case insensitive every time. Searched column is marked by vertical cursor. Last non empty string searching pattern is used when current searching pattern is empty string. Searching is starting after visible vertical column or on first visible not freezed columns (after some horizontal scrolling) or on first column. After last column searching starts from first again.
For clipboard support the clipboard application should be installed: 1. wl-clipboard (Wayland), 2. xclip (xwindows), 3. pbcopy (MacOS) or 4. clip.exe (WSL2).
pspg
try to translate unicode symbol '∅' to NULL every time. If you don't use special setting
by pset null ...
, then psql
displays empty string instead NULL. pspg
hasn't any special
detection (in export routines) for this case. You should to check and enable or disable menu
item Empty string is NULL
.
pspg
has automatic detection of clipboard application. Unfortunately, this detection should
not to work for same cases. You can specify the application by specify number (1,2,3,4) to
--clipboard-app
option.
Formats make a difference! pspg copies records in CSV format by default, which uses comma separators and trims initial and trailing whitespace. Use "formatted text" to copy query output exactly, or choose one of the other available options.
V: [d/d d..d]
- vertical cursor: (column number)/(columns) (char positions from) .. (char positions to)FC: d
- freezed columns length in charsC: d..d/d
- unfreezed visible data in chars (from .. to)/(total)L:[d + d d/d]
- lines (number of first visible line) + (number of line of display), (current line)/(lines)d%
- percent of already displayed dataIt works well with miller http://johnkerl.org/miller/doc/index.html
mlr --icsv --opprint --barred put '' obce.csv | pspg --force-uniborder
New version has integrated csv support - just use --csv
option.
It can be integrated into mc
/etc/mc/mc.ext
to your ~/.config/mc directory
##csv regex/.csv View=pspg -f %f --csv

pspg
on Cygwin, then some temporary freezing of scrolling was reported
In this case, please, use an option --no-sleep
. I see slow scrolling (via scrollbar)
inside konsole (KDE terminal). The option --no-sleep
helps too.The result of query can be refreshed every n seconds. pspg
remembers cursor row,
possible vertical cursor, possible ordering. The refreshing should be paused by pressing
space key. Repeated pressing of this key enables refreshing again.
pspg
uses inotify API when it is available, and when input file is changed, then
pspg
reread file immediately. This behave can be disabled by option --no-watch-file
or by specification watch time by option --watch
.
pspg
can read a continuous stream of tabular data from pipe, named pipe or from file
(with an option --stream
or it can read a stream of queries from pipe or from file
(with an option --querystream
). In stream mode, only data in table format can be
processed, because pspg
uses empty line as separator between tables.
The query stream mode is an sequence of SQL statements separated by char GS (Group separator - 0x1D on separated line.
pavel@localhost ~]$ cat < /dev/pts/3 > ~/pipe select 10 ^] select 20 ^] select * from pg_class ^]
you should to add to your profile:

set QUIET 1 pset linestyle unicode pset border 2 pset null ∅ unset QUIET
some possible configuration:
-- Switch pagers with :x and :xx commands set x '\setenv PAGER less' set xx '\setenv PAGER 'pspg -bX --no-mouse'' :xx
LC_CTYPE
should be correct. Mainly when you use unicode borders.
ncurses doesn't display unicode borders (produced by psql
) without
correct setting of this variable. Is possible to check a value 'C.UTF8'.
When you use a option --only-for-tables
, then

and PSQL_PAGER
to less
orPAGER

SQLite native client doesn't produce well formatted output, but can be forced
to generate CSV format - and this format is well readable for pspg
sqlite3 -csv -header testdb.db 'select * from foo2' | pspg --csv --csv-header=on --double-header
pgcli needs the following configuration options (~/.config/pgcli/config
):
pager = /usr/bin/pspg --csv --rr=2 --quit-if-one-screen --ignore-case --csv-header on --pgcli-fix
table_format = csv
Older version of pgcli had very slow output in tabular format. An workaround was using csv format. This should not be necessary on current versions when the performance issue was fixed.
An option --pgcli-fix
fixed import of partially broken csv format generated by pgcli
. Modern version of pgcli
doesn't need csv format,
and doesn't need --pgcli-fix
option.
pager = /usr/bin/pspg --rr=2 --quit-if-one-screen --ignore-case
As sqlcl
doesn't currently support a pager option directly, you can either use a tool like qsh to work around this issue, or use the pspg.sql script from this repo.
To use the script, start sqlcl
as shown below (it's important to pass in the details of your current tty):
$ TTY=$(tty) sqlcl system/system @/path/to/pspg.sql
You can now have the results of a query sent to pspg
like this:
SQL> pspg select * from user_tables;
The pspg
supports default table_mode
: rounded
and table_mode
: heavy
.
The conversion to csv can be used too.
sys | get cpu | to csv | pspg --csv
Note: footer_mode
should be disabled
nushell configuration:
$env.config.footer_mode = never
$env.config.table.header_on_separator = false
$env.config.ls.clickable_links = false
$env.config.table.mode = rounded
pspg try to use xterm mouse mode 1002, when terminal and ncurses are not too antique. If there
are problems with usage - unwanted visual artefacts when you move with mouse when some mouse
button is pressed, then 1. please, report issue (please, attach log file), 2. use an option
--no-xterm-mouse-mode
and pspg
will not try to activate this mode.
On my Fedora this terminal doesn't correctly display true color themes. The basic problem
is in default TERM
setting, that is xterm-256color
. Unfortunately, the konsole
terminal
is not fully compatible with xterm
, and doesn't allow color changing. You can force direct
colors by using the option --direct-color
or by setting TERM=xterm-direct
. Second option
is more correct setting of TERM
variable to konsole-256color
. In this case the pspg
will
map the true rgb colors to supported 256 colors.
Some linker issues can be fixed by:
I changed gcc -lncursesw pager.c -o pspg -ggdb to gcc pager.c -o pspg -ggdb -lncursesw
If you want to use pspg
as Postgres client, then you need run
configure --with-postgresql=yes
. On Fedora with own Postgres build
I had to install openssl-devel
package and I had to set
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/usr/local/pgsql/master/lib/pkgconfig/"
.
On FreeBsd you should to use gmake
instead make
.
When you compile code from source, run ./configure first. Sometimes ./autogen.sh first
If you would to display UTF-8 characters, then pspg
should be linked with ncursesw
library. UTF-8 characters are displayed badly when library ncursesw
is used. You can
see broken characters with incorrect locale setting too.
You can check wide chars support by pspg --version
. Row ncurses with wide char support
is expected. Re-run configure
with --with-ncursesw
option. When this command fails check
if development package for ncursesw library is installed.
# brew install pspg
You can compile easily pspg
without brew
, but you need gnu readline
library. MacOS uses
by default readline emulated over libedit, but pspg
requires full gnu readline library.
LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/opt/readline/lib" CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/opt/readline/include" ./configure
LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/opt/readline/lib" CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/opt/readline/include" make
# apt-cache search pspg
# apt-get install pspg
# dnf install pspg
The pspg is available from community repository https://yum.postgresql.org/packages.php
# apk add pspg
# emerge -av dev-db/pspg
The Arch User Repository contains two versions:
master
branch.Use the AUR helper of your choice or git and makepkg
to install pspg.
# pkg install pspg
# pkg_add pspg
More about it
# port install pspg
pspg
can be simply used on MS Windows by using wsl2. I tested it, and it is working without problems.
In terminal execute wsl --install -d Ubuntu-22.04
In terminal open Ubuntu session
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install pspg
sudo apt-get install postgresql postgresql-contrib
# set password for user postgres
sudo passwd postgres
su - postgres
psql postgres
>> create role pavel login;
q
exit
touch ~/.psqlrc
mcedit .psqlrc
pset linestyle unicode
pset border 2
setenv PSQL_PAGER 'pspg -b -X'
# press F2 and F10
psql postgres
there is not any difference from installation and work on Ubuntu (Debian)
pspg
is not ported to MS Windows yet. There is the dependency on ncurses and correctly (fully)
implemented function newterm
(pdcurses
does this only on Unix platforms). It can work
with WSL2 maybe (I didn't test it). An alternative can be using less
pager, that is ported
to some MS Win enviroments. less
depends on termcap
, and it is little bit more portable
than pspg
(termcal
is low layer of ncurses). less
supports fixed rows and with --chop-long-lines
option or just -S
can be used as pager for pspg
.
export PSQL_PAGER="less --chop-long-lines --header 1"
There are few issues requires manual code changes for successful compilation - we successfully
tested pspg
, but although pspg
was linked with ncursesw libraries, the utf8 encoding support
didn't work fully correctly - probably due some issues in libc
library. There are problems with
chars encoded to 3bytes - unicode borders, .. Two bytes unicode chars should be displayed well.
You can use pspg
with usual accented chars, but unicode borders should not be used. Replacement
ascii borders by special borders chars (by ncurses technology) works well - looks on Options|Force unicode borders
option.
Solaris make
doesn't support conditional statements - should be removed So, remove unsupported
functionality from Makefile
(ifdef
,endif
), replace -include
by include
first.
After running configure
remove link on termcap
library from config.make
. It is garbage
produced by readline
automake script. Combination with ncurses
libraries makes some
linking issues.
export CURSES_CFLAGS="-I/usr/include/ncurses/"
export PANEL_LIBS="-lpanelw"
./configure
export CFLAGS="-m64 -I/opt/csw/include"
export LDFLAGS="-L/opt/csw/lib/64 -R/opt/csw/lib/64"
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/opt/csw/lib/64/pkgconfig"
./configure
Store data in some column format (now data are stored like array of rows). With this change can be possible to operate over columns - hide columns, change width, cyclic iteration over columns, change order of columns, mark columns and export only selected columns (selected rows).
Replace printing document directly to ncurses window by some smarter structure. Internally there are lot of checks and fixes to support complex dynamic layout. The possibly views should to remember first row, last row, current row. Now, these data are in global variables or in DataDesc and ScrDesc structures.
This project uses st_menu library - implementation of CUA menubar and pulldown menu for ncurses https://github.com/okbob/ncurses-st-menu
